please note that the haskell LLVM community has shifted to llvm-general, which can be found onhackage and github.

if you have any questions you can find many members of the Haskell LLVM community on the #haskell-llvm freenode irc channel.

Haskell LLVM bindings

This package provides Haskell bindings for the popular
LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

Compatibility

We try to stay up to date with LLVM releases. The current version of
this package is compatible with LLVM 2.9 and 2.8. Please understand
that the package may or may not work against older LLVM releases; we
don't have the time or resources to test across multiple releases.

Configuration

By default, when you run cabal install, the Haskell bindings will be
configured to look for LLVM in /usr/local.

If you have LLVM installed in a different location, e.g. /usr, you
can tell the configure script where to find it as follows:

cabal install --configure-option=--with-llvm-prefix=/usr

Package status - what to expect

This package is still under development.

The high level bindings are currently incomplete, so there are some
limits on what you can do. Adding new functions is generally easy,
though, so don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.

The high level interface is mostly safe, but the type system cannot
protect against everything that can go wrong, so take care. And, of
course, there's no way to guarantee anything about the generated code.
